Id stream it as an mpeg. Use quick time, and actually do a media stream. Most everyone has quicktime, or if they don't it is free. The same cannot be said about media player or real, media player is a windows thing, you wont catch a linux or mac user with it, and real is just garbage, real is gay and it is the only player that can open its formats. Plus even if you manage to get real player for free it will spam you with little popup ads whenever you start or end the player because it is just one big hunk of spyware. Real media sucks and can be lumped with geocities in that quote in my sig.

real player has windows, mac, and linux versions

If you download the free version, not the plus version with the trial, it wont bug you to to pay.

i have never heard of little popup ads whenever you start or end, then again, i have never used the trial version

overall, i think the main problem is that their website makes it very difficult to find stuff.

i myself dont care for realplayer much, but you are really blowing it out of proportion.

I do not have the trial, I have the free version. But I get that little "message center" popup, real has new offers for you! Real media utterly sucks, you can only use real to play those forumats, and shoot I do not even know what program you would use to encode them to begin with and edit them. Quicktime runs on it all, and generally uses the quicktime mpeg format which is already the most popular format around. Quicktime is > then real by far.
